Summer 2019 Retrograde Horoscopes

This summer is one big retrograde season for many of the gas giants that reside just beyond the asteroid belt. When these planets go retrograde, they appear to be moving backward in the sky, and their influence on our lives becomes internalized. This turns our focus to how we are feeling on the inside. The planets will retrograde in a domino effect, slowly easing us into the new life we want as long as we’re open to taking the reigns on it using optimism (Jupiter), discipline (Saturn), focus (Pluto), and faith (Neptune).
The summer retrograde planets will be moving back to where they were at the beginning of the year, transforming many of our major new years’ resolutions to better suit the 3D world we’re living in now.

Cancer Jupiter is likely to bestow gifts and new opportunities regarding your daily work life and habits by slowly rearranging your daily routine to be more enjoyable. This can be overall beneficial to your health, as your generous need to serve others turns inward. There is a huge emphasis on partnerships for you this summer as well. You may be feeling some type of deja vu in your relationships, the reason being they are karmic in nature. Wherever you can take responsibility for these patterns can give you insight on how to properly deal with them and restore balance. It’s likely you turn to the books towards the end of the summer and get to learning something new that increases your overall potential, but it’s likely to be very confusing and difficult to grasp at first. Keep at it, take your time, and be patient with this. Try not to push your brain too hard too fast.

Leo This will be a summer of creative problem solving for you lovely lions, as the spring has set the tone for you to think a little bit out the box with your passion projects, relationships, and if it applies, parenting styles. Taking better care of your bodies will be a big theme as well. You could find it increasingly more difficult to maintain a constantly busy lifestyle with a lot of responsibilities. Applying better discipline in your daily routine will help you to take back your power and help you to put your long term health and well being first. The planet of illusions goes retrograde in the area of your chart that rules secrets mysteries and shared resources, so as your health improves and your daily schedule begins to change, your boundaries with others begins to thicken. This may trigger a bit of anxiety in you, the main challenge being this: Just keep doing you.

Virgo It’s either time for a bigger house or time for you to better optimize the home space you have now. Cleaning and clearing out any old dust collecting things will make your space now more enjoyable to be in, which is a good feeling that is sure to follow anywhere you go. Where you may have felt you had control with your love life and/or children is starting to shift, however, as you may begin to notice a rebellious phase begins to wash over them in your efforts to keep a positive outlook. Keeping faith alive in yourself and others will be a highlighted challenge. The more you push, the harder it becomes, so keep an open ear to how you can be supportive of the good instead of critical of the bad.

Libra You’re a very positive and uplifting communicator at this time, but are learning just when to speak and when to listen, especially with any long distance conversations you may be having this summer. Responsibilities around the home are beginning to shift, and you could find yourself selling a home and moving altogether. You may not have full power or control here, so extra patience is required of you to maintain composure through the process. Your daily routine, health, and work life gets a little shake up towards the end of the summer, and a routine will be considerably more difficult to establish. Make sure to fit time in where you can to breathe and clear your mind, as it would be very wise to make your mental health a #1 priority.

Scorpio Your full money making potential (which is huge right now, btw) is finally being realized at this time, and how much you feel you deserve to be making is slowly finding it’s way to you now. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a few extra dollars selling some of your things. Your style of communicating could be getting a bit of a makeover as well, with your social media accounts, phone numbers, and emails being affected or changed as a result. Your relationship with loved ones and passion projects could get a little foggy towards the end of the summer unless you decide to pull your creative inspiration from a more spiritual place.

Sagittarius The way you present yourself is switching up and changing to better match how your personality is growing and changing. Your moods and attitudes are being amplified through you to your outer world like a loudspeaker, so try your best to maintain a positive inner vibe. It’s also time to start getting more disciplined with your spending and budgeting, thrifting and putting away where you can. This allows you to gain better control of your money flow so that come 2020, you’ll be better equipped to earn a whole lot more when Jupiter enters your money house. Your future self will thank you later. There’s a change in energy around your home and family life towards the end of the summer, and your spaces are shifting to better accommodate your spiritual needs.

Capricorn You may have noticed lately that the more you think about something, the bigger it becomes in your physical reality. This is true of everyone, but for you, this becomes a little bit of a superpower this summer. This will turn your focus inward, where the trick is to chill, live, and let live. Your ruling planet Saturn is backtracking alongside Pluto in the area of your personality and presence. This is huge in that it can inspire within you the urge to COMPLETELY transform how you’re presenting yourself in the world from head to toe. Taking responsibility for yourself and where you may want to change certain aspects of your style and body will ultimately change how you communicate to others as well, and playing the part of this new you can feel a little bit odd at first. What feels natural won’t register quite the same anymore, so it might be helpful to establish an inspiring role model or two to channel and emulate.

Aquarius It’s likely you get the opportunity to engage in some long distance friendships to start the summer off, with old and new connections popping up across what may feel like a very long distance, some maybe even internationally far. Your faith will be challenged slightly in the heat of summer as the optimistic revolutionary in you will likely be feeling supercharged to make a big difference in collective political and social conversations. You can’t change everyone’s mind, and there’s a chance some poor soul will think they can change yours, but there is extreme power to be had in practicing patience when faced with certain conservative beliefs. Some confusion around your possessions and money toward the end of the summer could come up, and it may be helpful to take a more minimalist approach to how you handle certain resources.

Pisces Some opportunities will come up for you to boost your legacy and reputation to the next level, and to make sure it’s all for the better it’ll be wise to invest your time and energy into believing in yourself more and more. Saturn and Pluto are asking you to practice better self-discipline and maturity with your friends and social life, which ultimately will surround you with a different crowd altogether in the area of life you want to build your long term reputation in. Altogether, the image you project to others will begin to develop and really level up, which can feel a little bit weird at first. This is where you’ll feel like looking the part may be helpful in embracing the changes taking place. Dress for the job you want, so they say!
